Fallout 76 got off to a very rocky start back in 2018, but it's come a long way. There have been a whole host of expansions, and people absolutely are playing it. But should you? If you're wondering whether Fallout 76 is worth playing in 2025, here's the answer.
Fallout 76 is finally worth playing in 2025, after seven years of free expansions and it actually does some things other games haven't. One recent update adds in the ability to become a ghoul, once you're at a sufficiently high level. There are Fallout 4 mods to let you do this, but Fallout 76 actually has you treated differently because you're now a ghoul.
You'll still need to play the game online, but it feels like a proper Fallout game, with one exception I'll get to later. If single-player Fallout is more your thing, it won't replace Fallout 4 or Fallout: New Vegas . But even so, it's absolutely worth exploring for a while, just to soak in all the lore and the other elements it adds to the Falloutvertse.
Fallout 76 was, initially, a ghost town, with not an NPC in sight. It was horribly incomplete but seven years, it actually feels like a proper Fallout game.
它有一个巨大的开放世界,可以漫游,并且拥有所有先前的辐射游戏的复古捕获,以及能量武器,怪异的怪物,拱顶等。 It introduces a host of new enemies and elements such as the Scorched, and boasts many, many quests to undertake.
Fallout 4’s base crafting might have not been to everyone's taste, but here you can go absolutely wild. Bases aren't just for show, either. You can build your own base and add in machines to sell the items you collect. So, while you're wandering around the wasteland, caps could be piling up at home.
That's in-game currency, I should add – you can't make real money playing Fallout 76 . But if you're feeling devious you can craft Saw -style bases that will kill players. I've fallen foul of a couple and as furious as I was, I have to tip my hat to those players' creativity. Speaking of evil, the game makes you work for it, but you can nuke sections of the main map, which is a neat mechanic.
如果您与一些朋友合作并坚持在一起,那么多人游戏的范围有很大的范围,同时将荒地占据最糟糕的情况。 Unlike the single-player Fallout 4 , you'll have someone to show your ridiculous costumes to. Even if your friends aren't into Fallout 76 , there you can join up with strangers and conquer the wasteland.
There's more content coming all the time, and unlike The Elder Scrolls Online , every expansion and piece of DLC has been free.

Fallout 76 isn't perfect. There are a few negatives, though far fewer when it first launched. For me, my least favorite thing about the game is seeing bases all over the place. That might seem like an odd gripe given it's a multiplayer game, but it does make the world seem less barren.
Since there are other players around, the VATS system no longer slows down the world, which makes kills less satisfying.而且,当涉及基础建筑时,许多超级酷的东西都被锁定了,通常需要您磨碎以解锁它(比《辐射4》中的资源收集更多),并且游戏并不缺乏微交易。
Wondering just what DLC Fallout 76 has received since its launch? Here's every free expansion and DLC Bethesda has added.
The Expeditions expansions add new locations to visit, including The Pitt (previously seen in Fallout 3 ) and Atlantic City. The latter isn't as massive as its name implies but it's still a new place to roam.核冬季是皇家大赛模式,但在2021年被删除。在核冬季后不久,Wastelanders更新最终将NPC添加到了荒原上。
最终, Fallout 76绝对值得一游,无论您长期以来渴望多人游戏的后果,还是如果您是“辐射完成”,它都有很多事情要做。 And given that it's on both Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, you've nothing to lose by stepping into the Appalachian Wasteland.
